So, my sister knitted this for me. And it is fucking amazing and profoundly nerdy. Here I am modeling it, be awed the wonder that is The Wesley Sweater:

Oh my gods, that is the best knitted shirt ever! Made even better by the adorable model

How much are she selling these for? I might actually have to buy one. And I'm not usually a fan of knitted stuff.

Prices will vary a lot depending on size and how long it takes her to make them. Depending on the complexity of the pattern and the price of the materials used her custom sweaters normally go for $100-$300. Seriously, let me know if you're interested!

I could never never never be that close to Wesley. You do know he was a child, right?

That's terrific! What's really great about it is that most people won't even know it's Star Trek Wesley Crusher inspired, as it has more of a 80's retro look about it. And then those that know TNG will definitely get it.

Oh and I can only imagine how today's Will Wheaton would kill to have that kind of waistline.

Wow! That's very impressive. You're very skilled with the human face and its features.

Is this in your personal collection or one you're considering selling? We have sidewalk arts and crafts festivals and city-sponsored art shows that would eat something like this up.

Thank you. I don't know about selling him. I'm very fond of him and he took rather a long time. However...things are tight. I have thought about selling on the street before. I very seriously considered it when I was unemployed, actually.

Yes! I love that about it!

That's one of my paintings:

Seriously terrific work there, TSQ. Is that watercolor, pastel, or something else?

TSQ, you should totally tweet or email those pics to Wil Wheaton! He would adore them!
